Can I seal a very smooth concrete floor?

Frequently Asked Questions - RadonSeal
Power troweling provides a nice-looking, smooth finish on concrete floors. It creates a "hard cap" (crust) on the surface. But when overdone, the surface becomes shiny and the crust may be very thick (1/8" instead of 1/32"), which may lead to problems. (Uncured lumps pushed into the surface while still plastic will become stress points that may cause spider web cracking later. The thick hard cap may spall as the concrete underneath cures and shrinks.

What about concrete?

Frequently Asked Questions
Concrete is a commonly requested material. To be honest, we don't know much about gluing to concrete. You could check with some building sites. Cement is the adhesive that holds concrete together. It will take some research on our part but we are thinking about doing concrete. A very cool and specialized glue! It does its job then you can roll it into ball and ... well, have a ball with it. The glue that is used for "tip ins" (magazine jargon) is referred to as a Peel and Stick glue.

How is a Parquetry Timber Floor installed over Concrete?

Wood Floor Solutions - Information > FAQ
The sub-floor must be level to 3mm over 3mtrs. If not then either a leveling compound must be used, the floor sanded/ground to the required level or battens could be installed and packed and the plywood attached to them.

The parquetry is then set out to ensuring that the pattern remains straight, and leaving a minimum 10mm gap for expansion around the perimeter.

Can a replica home be built on a concrete floor?

Frequently asked Questions
A concrete floor is cheaper to build than a timber or particleboard floor but only if the building site is level and the floor is a minimum 225mm above natural ground level. Our recommendation will always be, if you’re building a replica home, they look their best when elevated or raised up off the ground by at least 600mm. 100 years ago, concrete as we know it wasn’t available, so the old style colonial villa house appears to look out of place set low to the ground.

Will my battery discharge if I place it on a concrete floor?
